Saturday, 3lst Dec. 1887,

To-day we bid farewell t6 1887, tomorrow
we welcome 1888. The passage, like the
passage past q milestone, is quite an artIt-
cial one. Time goes smoothly, or at least con
tinuously, on its course, and h looks IKE
breaks or changes in it are only changes IN
our way Of looking at it. We shall associate
the time till midnight with the number 1887,
we shall associate the time when midnight is
past with the number 1888. At first sight this
may seem a small matter, but 1T IS Tar from
being SO. The conception that one stage OF
time is past and that a new stage IS entered
upon, may be, and undoubtedly often IS, OF
unspeakable value. How many a young
man has not risen on New Years morn with
a resolve that the new year should not be to
him as the old, that the past should be. buried
and a new life commenced? God being my
helper, he says, such and such a bad practice
shall not be my practice any longer, from to-
day I start afresh, I turn over q newsleaf. A
personal reform, it is true, may be comrnepc.
ed at any time and may be started in many
different ways, but there is no time so sulta-
BILE to urge it as on the eve Of q new year, a
fact which is not forgotten by moraEsts and
preachers. The New Year comes to us like
new dresses to the little girls of a family, who
feel that these at least must be care II
kepG as muCn as pOSSlUIe rom DGlHS Soleu; VI
like a new copy,book to the school-boy, who
must not blot or thumb-markf and smudge
this as he did the number which is just finish
ed. Which of US indeed can say that we are
finishing the book whose last leaf we have
now trhneds ithout some blot of which we
are ashagea, or at least some smudge or
crunsplina Maich by more care conad have
been avoided? The new book lies unopened
at our hand. Happy will he, be who at its close
can give it up with but few blots and blum
'ders. May this be SO with many who read
this paper; and the honest resolve that it
shall beso will make the new year, what
we now wish it may be for one and all,.a
~happy'one.
We are indebted to a West End correspon-
dent, "spectator. for an entertaining account
of the races, for which we lender him our
best thanks. The unfortunate jockey who
was thrown, our readers will be glad to learn,
is progressing favofsably in.West End, while
from apother source we gather that the inju-
ries toothe horse s'Joe's were not SO serious
as onlookers would !. suppose, were in fact

picks and skips, and skips
and picks-only the fttest,
best. Such big lots that there
are no prices below. From
the maker, to us, to yon.
That's why we sell one

Our Just-in-Linensaren are now

with her step so light and airy,
Truly, she's enchanting-very.
'Tis not strange the swells do rally
When she deftly leads the ballet;
Yet her many charms surprising
VIII not bear close analJzing.
Take her hair OF hlmy gold,
O'or her head OF classic mold,
How the gas light leaps and plays
Through the soft and wavy maze,
How admired It's yellow sheen =
That's Blondine.
And her eyes that flash and glow
AS the passions come and go,
How each glance conveys dart
Straight to some admirers heart,
Overcoming rank and honor =
That's Belladonna.
Mans curious contradiction,
Leaving facts to worship fiction;
When her mood is most unkindly
Then he loves her madly, bllndly;
Though for falsehood he may rate her,
II she meier deceived, he'd hate her.

of the tail.enders leaves this little incident
in Washlpgton: The train had stopped to
water up at North Carolina station, which
has recently come into prominence as a
winter health resort Two big, white hotels
were in sight over the scrubby, untitled
landscape, with few "mud and timber"
.hanties among the pines. An anarchy
cart witha stub-tailed mule and two-year-
old steer hitched In unison stood near the
station. The apparent owner Of the cyclone
wreck, was q long. legged, dilapidated clay
eater, with the juice Of General Tom Cling
mans universal pinacea trickling down the
corners of his mouth. A car window shot
up and a nasal voice interrogated the native
in purest Bostonese:
"My friend, why DO you harness together
such strangely iucongtuous couple as see
yonderp

And as they sleep the sleep that hath no

The tears that save our weary hearts from

So, on the Bride who goeth forth in splenlor
The sun lis rays shall shed;
But oh soft rain, so pitiful, so tender,
Fall thou upon the Dead
